		<description>This is horrible. I too have been diagnosed with VV...
It never even occurred to me that something was wrong with trying to fix the pain in order to PIV sex.

It&#039;s like a given- you must get cured (through surgery or mind numbing meds) or you must be alone forever if you&#039;re a hetero female.

Yes, you ppl are right- why should i have to have a mutilating surgery in order to have a fulfilling relationship?

This type of thinking is just not out in the mainstream.

Women are either nymphos or frigid. 

Actual medical reasons for pain - not talked about in the media!

Horrible!

My therapist says 25 percent of her female patients suffer from painful sex.

And the solution is to fix the woman not for the man to find alternatives to causing his partner severe pain.

What kind of fucked up world is this?

Shame on our stupid society!

Women need to speak up!

Pain is pain wherever it is on the body. And no one should feel less than human because they pain!

sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

what a fucked up world!</description>

		<description>fleetfootedfox, the whole &quot;ZOMG YOU&#039;RE TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO HAVE SEX&quot; gambit is the oldest goddamn trick in the book and nobody who reads IBTP is buying it. Lurk more-- and realize that asking people to examine their assumptions (and letting them know that if they HURT SO BADLY THEY CRY every time they have PIV sex, it&#039;s not the only option) is not telling people how to have sex, how to get orgasms, or what they SHOULD like. 


You said that someone who has grown up conditioned to enjoy procreative activities will not get off when not having PIV sex.
Proof or GTFO. The mere fact that women in our society enjoy clitoral orgasms disproves your theory. Oh, and all those fundie christian kids engaging in oral/anal to save their poor virginities...</description>

		<description>No, I&#039;m not fucking(your word) kidding.

The solution is going to have to come through treating the underlying issue.  Numbing the area, or just giving up on a specific part/type of sex are crap solutions that don&#039;t even treat symptoms, they ignore the symptoms wholesale.

For plenty of women, orgasms without penetration are difficult,  painful, or just less desirable.  I don&#039;t see how someone can be considered sex-positive and tell people what kind of orgasms or sex they should have.</description>

		<description>Botox was originally developed and tested to use on bladder cancer.  They stopped using it as a treatment for bladder cancer, as 2 to 5 years later, the inside of patients&#039; bladders tended die and slough off.  Not good.  Life without a bladder is no fun, and generally shortened.

I assume that the dose used for face muscle paralysis is much smaller, and that they haven&#039;t seen the whole sloughing and dying thing there.  I&#039;d still look at any available papers on the whole using it in women&#039;s vagina&#039;s things for how many patients, side effects, and the time periods involved (if one was desperate enough to attempt this procedure).  You don&#039;t want to be the first person whose internal organ sloughs off.</description>

		<description>On the word cunt:
(from Cunt: A Declaration of Independence by Inga Muscio

&quot;In fact, &quot;cunt&quot; wasn&#039;t considered obscene until the 17th Century. The earliest known reference in English is to a street frequented by prostitutes called &quot;Gropecuntlane.&quot; Which sounds like a Monty Python joke, but it&#039;s not. (Sound it out.) In fact, according to some etymologists, &quot;cunt&quot; was not used as a term of abuse for a woman until the 20th century. Before that it only referred to a part of the body.

According to etymologists, the modern word &quot;cunt&quot; does not relate to the Latin word cunnus, meaning pudenda. We&#039;re not sure how they&#039;re so sure of it, but they swear &quot;cunt&quot; comes from the Germanic root, kunton meaning female genitalia. Which is interesting if you consider the fact that the Germanic root is ku- meaning &quot;hollow place,&quot; and the Latin root is keu- meaning &quot;to cover, to conceal.&quot; These days the cunt is definitely considered a hole and not something that goes over or covers something else. Then again, in the end, a cunnus is a kunton, is a cunt.&quot;</description>
